• Fresh, frozen and canned vegetables and fruits are all healthy choices.
• Carrots, onions, turnips, cabbages and potatoes are good buys year-round.
• Large bags of frozen vegetables and fruits are great buys because you can use what you need and keep the rest in the freezer.
• Try to avoid vegetables prepacked in sauces as they may be higher in sodium, sugars and saturated fat.
• Pick your own berries and freeze some for the winter.
• To help avoid spoilage and waste, try to buy fruits like bananas at different stages of ripeness: some that are ready to eat and some that will ripen in a few days.
